※ i'm quite in need of a few perspectives on this.

I typed a lot and then deleted cause rip, that'd be an essay uwu

- clique-y is when people start to talk and nobody but a group of certain people can relate to that.

being clique-y is literally avoiding everyone outside of your circle and only showing up when those people are around and ignoring everyone else. its nothing wrong with being close with people, im close with a few people i always join rps with and we always have fun and talk but not ignore others or make them feel left out and i think thats what a lot of people manage to do rather they mean to or not. but yuhp i think thats the difference.

When you only talk to your friends and only mingle in the chatrooms when your friends are around.

most cliques are really easy to deal with as they're respectful, but others: not so much. it's nice to see people having fun but when someone admits that they're only in an rp for someone else, then it's crossed a line. but yes when the clique blatantly ignores anyone that isn't involved in their group of friends, it's become too much.

idk kinda when all people can talk about is "remember when we did THIS" which is something i do all the time. but it is really annoying esp when you're new and you don't know most of the people there. or i guess when you come in saying something like "woah dude i just met a cute dog" and there are like 10 people there and only one would say something in reply? or not even? like not even that just trying to talk in general, even inserting yourself in the convo. like-- i'm not slandering anyone who does this bc i definitely do this bc i get too caught up in the moment sometimes but ykno sometimes inside jokes for certain cliques in the rp can ruin the rp, jbc people feel like they can't really join in. idk. that's when i feel left out but i probably do that all the time in rps i'm comfortable in.

I think when you start to ignore everyone else in the rp in favor of your group of friends, it becomes an issue unu
